Isobutyric Acid Analysis Service

Isobutyric acid is also known as 2-methylpropanoic acid. It is a carboxylic acid and its structural formula is (CH3)2-CH-COOH. Isobutyric acid can be found in the free state in Ceratonia siliqua, in the root of Arnica dulcis, invanilla and as an ethyl ester form in croton oil. Isobutyric acid is an isomer of butyric acid and they have same chemical formula C4H8O2 but a different structure. Isobutyric acid can be produced by the by the hydrolysis of isobutyronitrile with alkalis artificially. It is also prepared by the oxidation of isobutanol with potassium dichromate and sulfuric acid. The action of sodium amalgam on methacrylic acid can also produce isobutyric acid. Isobutyric acid is a liquid form with an unpleasant smell under common conditions. The gravity of isobutyric acid is 0.9697 at 0 °C and it is boiled at 155 °C. Isobutyric acid can be stored at -20°C under desiccating conditions for a long time and up to 12 months. It is soluble in water to 100 mM. Isobutyric acid decomposes to form carbon dioxide and acetone when it is heated with a chromic acid solution to 140 °C. α-hydroxyisobutyric acid is formed by the oxidization by the alkaline potassium permanganate from isobutyric acid. The chemical formula alpha-hydroxyisobutyric acid is (CH3)2-C(OH)-COOH. The salts of isobutyric acid are more soluble in water than those of butyric acid.

Isobutyric acid Analysis Service

Scientists at Creative Proteomics utilize a highly quantitative method with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the determination of Isobutyric acid levels in various samples, including Tissue, Plant, Bacterial, Cells and more. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) using a differential refractive index detector (RID) for the determination of Isobutyric acid levels in a lot of biological samples.

Isobutyric acid can be manufactured using engineered bacteria with a sugar feedstock commercially. Isobutyric acid is a reserved trivial name according the rules issued by the IUPAC. Isobutyric acid can be oxidative dehydrogenated into methacrylic acid by the iron phosphate and cesium/iron diphosphate, which are known to be present in an industrial and complex iron cesium phosphate. α-(Methylamino)isobutyric acid is one of glutamine transport inhibitor. It is selective for Na+-dependent amino acid transport system A over system B transporters.

From Our Clients

"I recently used their proteomics service for a project analyzing protein interactions in yeast models. The team was very responsive and helped clarify the methodology they employed, which made me feel confident in the results. The data quality was solid, with clear identification of several key proteins involved in our study. Their thorough analysis enabled me to pinpoint specific interactions that I hadn't considered before, which significantly improved the direction of my research. I appreciate their professionalism and support throughout the process."

Sarah Thompson, University of California, Berkeley

"Our lab collaborated with them on a project studying cancer biomarkers. The proteomics analysis provided was detailed and focused, specifically highlighting the differential expression of proteins between healthy and tumor samples. Their clear explanations of the data helped my team understand the biological implications. I also appreciated their willingness to revise the reports based on our feedback, ensuring that we had everything we needed for our publication. This collaborative spirit was invaluable."

Emily Rodriguez, Stanford University

"Our lab worked with them on a project studying the effects of diet on gut microbiota using proteomics. They used a label-free quantification method to analyze proteins in fecal samples before and after dietary intervention. The results showed significant changes in protein expression linked to microbial activity. This was pivotal for our hypothesis about diet-microbiota interactions. The clarity of their data presentation made it easy for our team to integrate these findings into our ongoing research."

Dr. Lisa Wong, University of Toronto

"My experience with Creative Proteomics during the mass spectrometry analysis was excellent. We sent in human saliva and mouse brain tissue samples, which they expertly analyzed using both LC-MS and GC-MS techniques. The results were invaluable, revealing key metabolites in the saliva and identifying biomarkers linked to brain function in the brain tissue."

Dr. Emily Carter, Senior Research Scientist

"The overall service from Creative Proteomics was outstanding. They made the entire process seamless and efficient, allowing us to focus on our research. We worked with leaf and root samples from various Arabidopsis genotypes for targeted metabolomics analysis. Their thorough profiling of primary and secondary metabolites gave us important insights into how the plants respond metabolically to environmental stress."

Dr. Laura Henderson, Plant Physiologist

"We had a pleasant collaboration with Creative Proteomics on mass spectrometry analysis of lipids. They conducted a detailed analysis of lipid species, providing us with important insights into lipid metabolism and its relationship with metabolic syndrome disease states."

Dr. Sarah Mitchell, Research Scientist
